Friggin' sweet Sombre. Can definitely see the '300' influence. I think the Sworn Brother looks coolest, if I have to chose.

Great graphics, Sombre. My hat's off to you.

Haha, yeah I saw 300 not so long ago, so there's an influence there. I already had a nation like this planned though, there's no direct link.

I just gave the new sworn and hoplites a playtest - they were making a /mess/ of the AI. I had about 20 sworn brothers going through lanka armies like a chainsaw. Like real hoplites their big problem comes when they're surrounded since their huge defence and parry melts away. As long as they were in a sort of 'block' though they were doing even better than I expected. For 30 gold a head though,... and only a leather cuirass for body armour,... well they don't seem overpowered.

I'll be messing about with myrmidon graphics again tomorrow. My first effort failed abysmally, so we'll see.

Oh and I /will/ release Jomon Broken. Soon. I promise ;]

I'm looking forward to Muspelheim. Do you know the Norse also had earth-giants? the Bergrisar (mountain giants). The Niefel giants were known as "Hrimtursar", while Muspel giants were "Eldjotnar".

Damn Sombre. Spin those plates!!

I personaly think one side of giants is enough! and theres already alot of nations based around fire, so you might wanna give the Muspehiem a bit of a twist to it for it take off as a good mod.
